Should this additional network be on 10.7.7? The dual-homed box would thus be a router; in addition to making its directly-reachable interface the default router for the FreeBSD box, you would also need to tell the dual-homed box to route packets between the interfaces. I have no clue how to do that except with a stand-alone router or with a UNIX box, so I can't really help you there.... It's *possible* that others in the FreeBSD community (in freebsd-questions, for example) may be able to help, but it's not a FreeBSD issue -- it's a Win95 issue (as far as I can tell). Were you using the FreeBSD box as the router, that would be fairly straightforward (and a matter for -questions, if the material at http://www.freebsd.org/ didn't address the mater adequately).
